Slow Food Singleton

Slow Food Singleton members & supporters: can you spare some time (even 2 hrs?) to help with a stall or activity coming up?:
🍊 Broke Village Fair stall - Sun 13 Sept
🥦 Singleton Show stall - Fri 25 and Sat 26 Sept
🥕 Singleton Edible Garden Trail - Sun 18 Oct

You don’t need to be an expert on Slow Food, gardening or cooking! We would love your help, even if it's just for a short time. Spreading the tasks around makes everything a lot easier, and you'll meet some great people!
👉Details of each event below.
👉Details of how to volunteer are at the end of this post.

🥦 For the Broke Fair and Singleton Show stalls, we simply chat to people about SFS and our activities, and have some produce to share/taste/sell.

🥕For the Garden Trail, we need helpers at:
- our ‘hub’ at Singleton Community Garden, selling tickets, giving info & packing seeds.
- some private gardens, checking tickets and giving info.
You can offer just a short time, or the whole day.
We would also love someone to coordinate the volunteer roster for Garden Trail Day...
And you get to go on a prior 'Gardeners & Volunteers' pretrail tour so you don't miss out on Trail day.

📩 Please message us if you’re interested in one (or more!) of these and we will be in contact with you; OR send an email to [email protected]

The Food that Made Us
Exhibition opening | Monday 3 August

Pop in to see our local history recipe exhibition made from contributions by our community!

Food is one of the most powerful carriers of memory. The handwritten, well‑loved recipe cards tucked into books and passed from hand to hand tell stories of family, culture, migration, and everyday life. This August, in celebration of Family History Month, we’re creating a special exhibition featuring high‑resolution reproductions of handwritten family recipes contributed by our community.
